When it was almost evening, Xie Ying invited Zhu Yi out of the carriage and led him to the shade of a tree beside the road.
He said: "Princess, I want to discuss something with you."
Zhu Yi looked at Xie Ying, the eyes and tone of the man in front of him were indifferent, as if he was not very familiar with her.
Zhu Yi thought, Xie Ying behaved solemnly and solemnly in front of his subordinates. If one only looked at his expression and demeanor at the moment, who would have imagined that this was a hooligan who once groped into her room in the middle of the night.
Zhu Yi also said in a strange tone: "What's the matter? My son, please tell me."
Xie Yingdao: "At the riding speed of the minister and the princess, if you start from here on horseback, you will arrive in Beijing in just over two hours. If you take a car, you will have to bump up and down for more than three days like today. The weather is hot now. I'm afraid it's uncomfortable to be on the ice, and I think the princess should ride a horse instead."
Xie Ying's suggestion really suits Zhu Yi's heart, she likes riding horses far more than rocking in a carriage. In fact, Zhu Yi has a bit of the boldness inherited from his biological father in his bones, but he was imprisoned and worn away by the deep palace.
Xie Ying said again: "It just so happens that it's sunset now, and it's not too hot anymore. Tonight, one hour later, tomorrow morning, we will be able to arrive at Longguo Temple. What does the princess think?"
Zhu Yi was moved, and hesitantly said: "But my maid doesn't know how to ride a horse." She and Xie Ying couldn't just go first. No matter how uncomfortable it is in the carriage, but if she wants to go with Xie Ying alone, then forget it.
Xie Ying pondered: "How about this, I will call Wen Yan to join us, and she can also act as a maid to take care of the princess. How about it?"
Zhu Yi looked at Wen Yan, the girl obviously possessed martial arts skills, so she agreed: "Okay."
When Zhu Yi changed into her riding clothes in the carriage and came out, Wen Yan had brought her a horse, and Xie Ying stood aside to watch her.
Zhu Yi's mouth opened into a small circle, and his opened eyes suddenly glowed. It turned out to be a light golden sweat horse. Why didn't she see it when she set off? If Zhu Yi still had any doubts, he immediately climbed on the reins and was about to climb up the horse. Wen Yan helped Zhu Yi get on the horse, Xie Ying turned around with a smile in his eyes.
The reason why the Xie family was able to stand out from the crowd was the huge number of horses was an extremely important reason. Weizhou occupies the Ninghe Plain in the south, and has established a horse market with the countries of the Western Regions. Therefore, Weizhou's war horses accounted for one-third of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and Xie Ying's Fufeng Iron Cavalry was even more invincible.
Although the expenses in the palace are generous, they will not give the hard-to-find hard-earned horses to ride for the princesses, they are good companions for the generals. Zhu Yi always liked horses, so how could he not be moved by seeing them now.
The four fast horses galloped through the mountains and the official roads for nearly an hour. Although the sky was still visible, Xie Ying called to stop. Firstly, he encountered Weishui Town where he could stay overnight, and secondly, he was worried that Zhu Yi would not be able to ride a night horse. Experience, being bumped into.
Xie Ying asked the locals in Weishui Town where the largest inn was, and then led everyone there.
Due to the exhaustion of riding a horse and the limited conditions, Zhu Yi simply wiped himself and lay down on the bed when Xiao Er brought hot water. Wen Yan slept on the Luohan couch on the other side.
Zhu Yi lay facing the wall, fiddling with his fingertips one by one boredly, and a smiling voice suddenly sounded behind him: "What a kid, he can even play with his own hands so vigorously."
Zhu Yi was so startled that she immediately turned over, and she found that Wen Yan was gone, and her master Xie Ying was replaced in the room.
She immediately wanted to sit up, but just as she propped up her upper body, she was gently pushed by Xie Ying, and then lay down again. Zhu Yi asked anxiously, "What are you doing?"
She then said: "Go out quickly, it won't be good when Wen Yan comes back and sees it later."
Xie Ying sat by the bed, took Zhu Yi's little hand to play with, and said, "Don't worry, she won't come back until I go out."
When Zhu Yi heard this, he even forgot to withdraw his hand. Her face was blushing to the point of bleeding, didn't Wen Yan know that Xie Ying was with her in private... She reprimanded: "How can you do this? How can you let others know you and know that you bully me?"
Xie Ying smiled: "Who said that others will think that I bully you, what if they think you are bullying me?"
Zhu Yi was overwhelmed by Xie Ying's face: "I bully you? Say it yourself, what can I do to bully you?"
Xie Ying suppressed her smile and said: "Princess also underestimates herself, the princess is really capable."
When Zhu Yi heard this, his tone was wrong, and he wanted to withdraw his hand. Xie Ying really asked: "What is the princess hiding from me these days?"
Zhu Yi just fell silent.
Xie Ying leaned over and pushed Zhu Yi down who wanted to stand up again: "If you don't speak, it means that the princess knows what's wrong." The bodies of the two were so close that there was no gap. The man's voice made Zhu Yi hear a gloomy tone: "It was the princess who provoked me first. I agreed to the princess, but the princess suddenly ignored me. Is the princess playing me all the time?"
Zhu Yi hurriedly said, "Of course not."
How dare she play him, she is afraid. Especially now, Xie Ying's oppression and clinging from top to bottom made Zhu Yi clearly feel how strong a male body is. The absolute disparity in strength, as well as the strange feeling she didn't understand, flooded from the tips of her toes to her whole body, making Zhu Yi even more frightened and couldn't help but struggle.
Xie Ying asked innocently: "Since that's not the meaning, why is the princess so excited? Just give her a hug, isn't she never hugged before?"
Zhu Yi wanted to cry but had no tears, he even ran to her bed, can hugging on the bed be the same as usual
Zhu Yi discussed with him: "But you are really heavy. How are you getting up? I can hardly breathe." Why did this bastard put himself on top of her, it was as heavy as a mountain.
"Really? The princess is out of breath, so pitiful." Xie Ying gestured and raised her hand: "The minister will help the princess Shun Shun."
Xie Ying looked down at her and his movements made Zhu Yi instantly understand how he wanted to give her Shun Shun, and hurried to stop his hand: "I don't allow it!"
Fortunately, Xie Ying just scared Zhu Yi, and didn't continue, just grabbed her hand with a smile, and pecked lightly on the back of it: "Princess, this is the profit that I begged for and was neglected by you these days." Money. Don't do it again next time, otherwise, I will ask for more."
The temperature on Xie Ying's body was too high, melting Zhu Yi like a puddle of water, she just begged him to let her go quickly, and nodded quickly.
Zhu Yi soon felt dizzy. It turned out that the positions of the two had been reversed. Xie Ying was lying on the bottom, but she was still held in the arms of the other party. The man said: "This way the princess will not feel uncomfortable."
"..." Zhu Yi was so tormented by him that he couldn't speak.
"Let me lie down for a while, and I'll leave soon." Xie Ying stroked the back of Zhu Yi's head and closed her eyes. She ignored her and seemed to be taking a nap.
"..." Zhu Yi was thinking, when Xie Ying returned to Beijing before, how did she think of taking the initiative to pursue this person.
There seemed to be some strange noises from next door. Zhu Yi had noticed it before Xie Ying came, but it was high and sometimes low, and it was really unclear.
Just as Zhu Yi was about to close his eyes, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the other side of the wall: "Ah—Master, I'm going to die!" Then the woman fell silent again.
Zhu Yi's body froze suddenly: "Xie Ying!" When she went upstairs, she caught a glimpse of a merchant couple living next door.
Zhu Yi looked at the man sleeping under him who seemed unconscious, and pushed him hard: "Xie Ying, wake up quickly."
Xie Ying slowly opened her eyes, and her long pupils, which looked like ink sketches, were dark.
"Why are you sleeping so deeply, did you hear it just now? It seems that someone died in the next room." Zhu Yi's round eyes showed that she was frightened.
Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi and said for a while, "I can't die."
"Huh?" His voice was too low and hoarse, and Zhu Yi couldn't hear it clearly.
"I said that woman can't die." Xie Ying raised her voice and repeated to her.
"How do you know she won't die?" Zhu Yi felt that the case was decided too arbitrarily. Anyway, it is a human life, and it may be the killing of Fa's wife.
Xie Ying sighed lightly: "Princess Mingchen can get up earlier, go to the next door to see, and keep that woman alive."
"Really?" Zhu Yi was still worried.
Xie Ying hummed, and pressed Zhu Yi's head into her arms again: "Go to sleep, I'll leave when you fall asleep."
Zhu Yi was speechless, could she pretend to be asleep
Xie Ying suddenly turned her head and looked at a row of windows facing the corridor, a man's shadow drifted past like the wind. Xie Ying let go of Zhu Yi and said, "Princess, rest, I have to get up tomorrow morning."
Didn't he just leave when she fell asleep? Zhu Yi was a little puzzled. But she was afraid that he would ask again if she was reluctant to let him go, so she quickly closed her eyes, not looking at Xie Ying who got out of bed.
Just as Xie Ying walked out of the room, Shen Xingliu flew down from the roof and landed in front of Xie Ying, holding a gagged person in his hand.
Xie Ying walked towards the spy, grabbed the other's wrist to check his pulse, and then smiled.
He said to Wen Yan who came out: "Go in and protect the princess." He also called Shen Xingliu: "Let him go."
Last time when Xie Ying and Elder Zhan Ge met privately, they also found a spy following him, and the prince wrung the neck of that man on the spot. This time the master actually asked to let go? Shen Xingliu's expression changed, but he was only responsible for carrying out orders, so he let the man go.
The spy took his life and fled quickly.
"It seems that Xie Shao was not in vain at the Junyi Guard before." Junyi's inner guard was dedicated to collecting information from all parties for the emperor. Back in the room, Xie Ying rarely praised Xie Shao.
Shen Xingliu said: "Your Majesty is saying that the man just now is Xie Shao."
Xie Ying hummed lightly. The emperor's people have long been waiting for him at Longguo Temple. And the pulse of that person just now... Xie Shao is really cruel and merciless, I'm afraid even these spies themselves don't know that their lives are in the hands of others.
"Then why did the son let him go?" Shen Xingliu looked at Xie Ying puzzled.
